Glass door advantages

Such interior items began to appear not so long ago. You need to know what distinguishes them and how they are better. The size of the door for the bath is selected after that. There are different options for this finish.

But for the bath is important tightness, which should be at the height and should not be forgotten about the insulation during installation.

So:

• It should pick up the glass in the door, which must meet certain requirements: they must first be sealed and safe. The glass itself should be selected for heat and impact resistance;
• One of the advantages is that the material is not subjected to deformation.. The same is not exposed to moisture and temperature extremes. Therefore, this design is perfect for rooms with non-constant heating;
• Also this material is durable and will last for a long time;
• This design is able to visually enlarge the room. and therefore perfectly suited to the structure of a small area.

We select the door

There are many options for manufacturing such products on the sales market. But not any glass door is suitable for installation in the bath. There are also particular features of choice.

We will list the options by which to make a choice:

• First of all, attention should be paid to the quality of glass.which should be perfect. Read the instructions and learn the parameters;
• Pay attention to the functionality of the canvas.. In this embodiment, the ability to pass light. Doors are in different versions of production. Therefore, the light skip should be selected depending on the lighting in the room;
• Take note of which way the door opens. Indeed, for different premises this property is interpreted differently from the point of view of fire safety. Take it seriously;
• Immediately select and design the room (see. Design of doors determined by all the rules). Such material may be with different appearance.

We select accessories

Glass is a rather specific material and therefore it is necessary to choose the right accessories for it.

So:

• Choose accessories that are not of great weight; in retail there is a large selection;
• On the mount must be provided gaskets that are made of polyurethane or rubber. They do not damage the glass and protect it;
• When installing it should be carefully customized and set, then the door will work correctly.

Door installation

Glass doors for bath sizes are selected depending on the room. If you do not use glassware as an entrance door. That door to the size of the bath when used in order to be able to walk quite freely. The size of the door to the steam bath is made on the basis of heat savings, and here it is worth a little to neglect comfort and lower it.

You select the sizes of a bathing door at a construction stage and make purchase. They are already sold with a box and they only need to be properly installed.

Surface preparation

To begin with, we do a complete surface cleaning. Doors for the sauna dimensions are customized for the box and therefore, if the area is large, then in some embodiments it should be laid with bricks.

So:

• Try on the box. If something interferes, then it must be removed. It should completely clear the plane from the previous coating. To do this, use a brush on the metal. If there is an influx of mortar, then use a chisel with a hammer;
• Now we need to apply antiseptic. In the bath from the temperature and humidity may be a fungus. We do the processing of the plane using antiseptics. To do this, use a brush or spray. Deep penetration fluid should be preferred;
• After complete drying, apply a coat of primer. We must have high-quality grip surfaces;

Door installation

Now try on the box again. The dimensions of the doors for the bath fit exactly for her. We look at the gaps.

Caution: Prem is always done with a gap. So that you can tailor the installation plane. Never open the door directly. A clearance of about two cm should be provided.

 So:

• The dimensions of the doors to the bath are adjustable with gaskets. The box should be perfectly flat and correct. For this we use a plumb and construction level. The plane must be perpendicular to the floor;
• The door to the sauna dimensions are adjustable and diagonal. To do this, use a simple fishing line and carefully measure the diagonal of the box. The door of glass has a completely correct geometric size and therefore will not work at the slightest bias;
• After proper installation of the box, it should be properly secured. To do this, use conventional screws. This is if the walls are made of wood. If concrete or stone acts as a material, then holes should be made using a perforator and then connected to the dowel.

Attention: in no case should not use chepikov. We have a humid environment and they quickly break apart. Also do not use dowels from the kits. To do this, you must purchase individually plastic pacifiers and to them self-tapping screws with a size of a couple of mm less from the cross section of the plastic hole. Such a connection will be tough and reliable. It will not be affected by high humidity and temperature changes.

• The door to the bath, the size we drove. Now we check them again and try on the door. If everything is normal, then we remove and begin to make the joint insulation with the wall. To do this, use insulation. Which is rolled up by a roller and placed in the gaps between the box and the wall;
• Now we make slopes (see. We make door slopes of drywall). To do this, it is best to apply a cement mortar that perfectly tolerates high humidity and temperature changes. How to do it right, there is a detailed article on our website. The same you will find options for performing this work.

After the surface is completely dry, it remains to hang the door and install the fittings. As you can see, all the work is done by hand and without problems.

Instruction is and you can get to work. The price of such a door may not be high and eats quite budget options, so the most important thing is not to rush and do everything right.
